Re: Compiling Error when adding ethernet into kernel

Altera_Forum · ‎03-07-2007

Hi,

I am going to develop ethernet applications with Nios2 and uClinux on CYCLONE_EVAL_1C12. After adding the ethernet module according to NIOSWIKI, the kernel compiling failed.

Could anybody do me a favor to figure it out? Thank you very much.

The following is my work flow :

HOST COMPUTER: openSUSE linux

BOARD: niosII_cyclone_eval_1c12/verilog/standard/standard_1c12.ptf (I use altera's example directly)

# set target ptf (if not, the customization of kernerl would fail. so I performed this step)

make vendor_hwselect SYSPTF=~/uClinux-dist/standard_1c12.ptf

# configure linux kernel

make menuconfig # I set all others according to NIOSWIKI except the ethernet driver where I

# chose MORETHANIP_10M_100M

# set target ptf again

make vendor_hwselect SYSPTF=~/uClinux-dist/standard_1c12.ptf

# make kernel and applications

make romfs # error, ignored according to NIOSWIKI

make # error, ignored according to NIOSWIKI

make# there are still lots errors as the following:

arch/nios2nommu/kernel/setup.c: In function `setup_arch':

arch/nios2nommu/kernel/setup.c:230: error: `na_mtip_mac_control_port' undeclared (first use in this function)

LD arch/nios2nommu/mm/built-in.o

make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/yongping/uClinux-dist/linux-2.6.x'

make: *** [linux] Error 1

It seems that some header file is missed. I am not familiar with linux system.

Thank you.

Please check your mtip port address defs in linux-2.6.x/include/nios2_system.h .

try modify the define of na_mtip_mac_control_port in setup.c.

you may need to check drivers/net/Space.c and mtip1000.c.

I have never tested these drivers. Please forward the patches to the wiki when you work through.

It is nice to see your joint.

Cheer.
